X ns 7,1 y.n .31.4 MARKET AND COMMBRCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In monetary circles to-day a very beneficial influence has been produced by the Returns issued from the Banks of England and France. There are few people now con versant with financial business who do not expect an early reduction in the official minimum. The Bank of France have already taken the initiative and lowered their quota• tion to 7 per cent., and the disproportion of that rate to the one current on this side will preclude the possibility of gold being sent from here to Paris. So far monetary relations are highly satisfactory; and as the Bank of England has lately increased its reserve to a rather considerable extent there appears every probability that the authorities will be compelled bt.fore long to grant a substantial discount con cession to the commercial community. This idea being very prevalent the public are holding over their bills, and notwithstand•ng that to •day is the 4th of the month, when a large number of bills arrive at maturity, the demand for a ccommodation has been moderate. The lowest rate for three -months' paper is 8j per cent. The return issued by the Bank of England furnishes Satisfactory evidence of the improvement which that esta blishment has undergone during the past week. Annexed are the particulars:— Active Circulation .. £21,043,820 Increase .. 84,915 Bullion .. .. 13,313,441 Increase .. 167,432 Post .. 3,271,791 Decrease .. .. • . 2,105 Public Deposits 3,377,941 Increase 54,392 Other Deposits.. .. 13,848,428 Decrease .. • • • ' 49,349 Seven Day and other Bills .. .. 652,480 Decrease.. 14,360 Government Securities .. 9,384,542 Decrease • • ' 25 ' 919 Other Securities .. .. 19,699,477 D.crease .. 68,020 }Totes Unemployed .. 6,177,310 Inoreaae 80,060 The Bank of France return is also of a favourable cha racter. The bullion shows an increase of £53,400, and the current accounts of £1,272,000. The discounts, hews ever, have been augmented by £1,106,700, and the notes in circulation by £352,000. A d ecrease h as t a k en pl ace i n th e Treasury balances representing £610,000. A further sum of £57,000 in gold was taken into the Ba nk yesterday.

CRVELTY TO A PONY.—Robert Smith, of Yeddon, Middlesex, was charged before Mr Yardley by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals with cruelly ill-treating it by working it in an unfit state. Yong, one of the officers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, saw the defendant this morning driving a pony attached to a costermonger's bar row in Pall-Mall. Observing the pony was lame, Yong stopped it, and on examining it found the knee of the off foreleg was twice the usual size, the cff hind hock sprained, and the sinews of the leg contracted. The pony was very old, in po )r condition, and totally unfit for work. The defendant said he came from Yoddon, near Uxbridge, and was going back. The pony was in such pain that it could not bear being touched, and trembled when it was touched. The defendant said all that was the matter with the pony was that it was sprained in one leg. It was not pain that made it tremble. Mr Yardley—l suppose it had a natural dread of the officer of tha society. How much did you give for it ? Defendant—Two pounds- Mr Yardley—Take the pony home, let the cart be de tained, bring another horse for it, and do not let the pony be seen in the streets again, This, I think, will be suffi cient punishment for you. THAMES, A MOST INCORRIGIBLE WOMAN.—Mary Ann Bennett, a prostitute, was charged, before Mr Partridge, with being drunk, disorderly, and making a disturbance. Edwin Ashley, 495 K, stated that the prisoner was very riotous in King David-lane this morning, and made use of very bad language. When she was taken into custody she plunged, kicked, and made a determined resistance. She was like a mad woman, Police-sergeant John Stimpson, No, 21 K, stated that the prisoner was the most incorrigible woman in the district. She had been recently liberated from prison, after 21 days' confinement. She had been in custody to his knowledge 33 times since March 1, 1861, and had been frequently con victed of assaults, felony, dis rderly conduct, drunkenness, unlawfully pawning of property, and other offences. In the course of the last three years and seven months, over which his list extended, she had been in prison about half the time. When she was last before the Magistrate she preferred a charge of harshness and ill-usage against a policy constable, The case was investigated, and turned cut to be unfounded. She had given great trouble to the police on repeated occasions. The prisoner, who is 30 years of age and appeared to be 60, said she was tired of her present mode of life, and wanted to get into an institution. She implored of the Magistrate to send her to some asylum. Mr Partridge expressed his inability to send the prisoner to any institution. There was no doubt the prisoner was incorrigible, that she was a drunkard, a thief, and he feared from what he had heard aad sees of her conduct before that she was utterly irredeemable. The best place for her was a prison. She must not be let loose on the public again for some time. With that view he should call upon her to find bail to keep the peace for six months. He knew she would no'. be able to provide the required sureties, and she would be in prison six months and out of harm's way. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL BRUTALITY.—George Martin, a roan about 40 years of age, was charged with the following dis graceful brutality to his wife. Jane Martin, a comely looking woman, about the same age as tho defendant, said she lived at 10 New-street, Brompton, and had to complain of the most sericus ill treatment from her husband. He attacked her last night between 12 and 4 o'clock. She was in bad at the time it commenced, and when her husband came home he dragged her out of bed by the hair of the head (she produced a great quantity of hair torn from her head), and then beat her about for a length of time, and assaulted her very violently. Mr Selfe—Did you give him any provocation? Complainant—Not the slightest. I was in bed asleep when he came home, and we had no words. Mr Selfe—How long have you been married to him ? Complainant—Five years. I was a widow when he married me and had children. Mr Selfe—ls your husband in the habit of illusing you ? Complainant—Very often and very brutally. lam now in the ramilyway, and if anything unfortunate should occur through this it will be the third time that I have miscar ried through his violence. Defendant—l bought coals, and potatoes, and other things, and took them home for sale, and they let some of them spoil. Willi m Bevan, 326 B, said he was called to the house between 3 and 4 o'clock this morning. He went into the room occupied by defendant, and found that the com plainant had fainted. She appeared in a very bad state, and gave him into custody. A lodger in the house confirmed the account of defen dant's brutality, IA hich had been going on some time. Mr Selfe (to defendant)—You are a great brute, and it is quite clear this is not a solitary instance of your being so. You aro committed for three months to hard labour, and will find bail for three months afterwards. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were very moderate. There was no activity in the trade, however, either as regards Essex or Kent produce, yet prices exhibited no change from Monday. With foreign wheat the market was well supplied. The amount of business transacted was very moderate, at about previous rates. This week's import is large. Floating cargos of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. The supply of barley on sale was moderate. Fine malting descriptions were firm in price; otherwise the trade was dull. The malt trade was heavy, and prices had a downward tendency. The market was well supplied with oats, in which a fair business was transacted, at full quotations. Beans and peas were dull, and prices ruled, in some in stances, the turn easier. The flour trade was quiet, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WERE. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

Alleged Murder of a Newly-married Woman. Yesterday evening Mr John Humphrer, Middlesex coroner, held a protracted inquiry at the Wellington Tavern, Cannon-street-road, respecting the death of Mrs. Eliz Roche, aged 45 years, who was alleged to have been poisoned four weeks after marriage. Owing to the singular circumstances attending the death and the attempted burial of the deceased without compliance with the proper forms, the case excited great interest in the neighbourhood. It may be mentioned that the deceased was an Englishwoman, and that in September last she em braced the Roman Catholic faith in order to get married to an Irishman named Patrick Roche, whose age was variously stated to be 70 or 56 years, but who was in very independent circumstances. The first witness was J. Smith, engine-driver, residing at No. 3, King-street, St. George's-in-the-East. He said that he was the brother of the deceased. She was married about four weeks before her death to Patrick Roche, and up to that time she was healthy. She had been a Protestant until within some days of the marriage, and she had then turned Catholic in order that the migkt marry Roche. Witness saw her on Satur day, the 22d of October. She was then vomiting blood in great quantities, She died on Wednesday, the 26th of October. Dr Arnold was in attendance on her. Coroner—During the three days the was ill, did she tel you that she had been poisoned P Witness said she did not; but she said that her mouth had become sore just previously, and that Dr Belcher had seated that it looked like the result of poison. After her death witness went to the registrar, and said he believed his sister had died by unfair means, and notice was sent to the coroner of the fact. Deceased and her husband had lived happily together. Mr Thomas Overton said that he was the coroner's officer for that district. From the information cf the rela tives of the deceased he went to Mr Roche's house in King-street on the 30th October. He saw the face of the deceased covered with blood. He told Roche what the obligations of the relatives were, and forbade the burial. Roche replied, " I will bury her in spite of them, or the coroner, or any one else." Witness then went to the under taker, Mr Burridge, and told him the same, Burridge said he would lose money if he did not do the thing as ordered, The body of deceased was then carried t• Low Leyton, but the minister refused to bury it there, as there was no certi ficate, and the body was left in the chapel until it was brought back by a coroner's warrant, Dr Belcher said that he had made a post-mortem exami nation of the body of the deceased, and had removed the stomach, &0., for analysis. The Coroner directed that the viscera of the deceased should be sent to Professor Letheby for chemical analysis. The case was one that required a rigorous investigation. The court then adjourned. The Franco-Prussian Tariff and Trade Marks, A circular has been addressed by the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce to the President and Standing Committee of the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, upon this subject. The circular states :—" I beg to subjoin a copy of a resolution of this Council, passed at a meeting held on the 26th ult.:--'That the Council enter their strongest protest against the proviso annexed to Art, 28 of the Franco-Prussian treaty with reference to trade marks. The effect of that clause is to exclude from inter national protection all trade marks which have heretofore existed in this country, and which alone are valuable, and to give protection only to those marks which are newly created and consequently of little or no value. The clause in question will legalise the vat system of fraud, of which Bri ish manufacturers have long complained, by which the best English names aro affixed by German makers to worth less articles, and sold in great quantities in distant markets Its genuine manufactures. All reductions in the tariff will be worthless if they have to be purchased by the transfer by treaty of all our valuable trade markets to German mer chants and manufacturers. Moreover, the advantages re sulting from the reduction of duties iu the tariff will be confined to ;the Zollverein and this country, whereas the injury arising from the imitation of British trade marks will extend to every country with which we have com mercial relation. The council therefore instruct their secre tary to communicate with the Association of Chambers of Commerce of the United Kingdom, in order that the chairman and other officers of the association, accompanied by a deputation from this council, may wait upon Earl Rus sell, and respectfully urge upon his lordship on no account to sanction the incorporation [into the treaty withEngland] of a clause so injurious to British manufacturers, and so manifestly repugnant to all honest and fair dealing.' The council feel that this is emphatically a case for the associa tion to take up, and they will doubtless feel it their duty to do so. It seems to us to be imperatively necessary that as strong a deputation as can be got together should re present to Lord Russell the fatal consequences to the manu facturing industry of this country of his sanctioning any treaty containing such a clause as the one above set forth. The council will be happy to concur in any appointment which may be made,' and will also endeavour to procure the attendance of the borough members." COLONIAL.

THE LATE MURDER NEAR NEWTON ABBOT.— It will be in the recollection of our readers that sometime in August last year, about a week after the Newton Abbot Races had taken place, the body of a young man, named John Mears, was found in a stream of water at Teignbridge, in close proximity to the racecourse, and the marks of violence on various p arts of his body led to the supposition that there had been foul play. Two men, named James Stevens, a man of colour, and John Burke, were charged with being concerned in the alleged murder, the accusation being founded on the statement of a boy named Pike, about 13 years of age, who distinctly swore that he had seen Burke atel Stevens assault Mears, ending in the later being thrown over the bridge wall in the water by Stevens. Upon this evi dence both prisoners were committed to take their trial at the Devon assizes, held at Exeter in December last before Baron Pigott, Stevens being charged with the capital offence and Burke as an accomplice. The boy Pike was then sub jected to a severe cross-examination, which considerably shook his statement, and his former career not being of the most pleasant nature his evidence was diabelievud, and both prisoners were acquitted. Within the past few days a rumour has been extensively circulated in the neighbourhood of Newton that Burke has died, and made a confession of the circumstances, implicating Stevens as the actual murderer, It was currently reported that these depositions were taken before a magistrate, and that a warrant had been granted for the apprehoubion of Stevens. Ou inquiry at t tie Newton, police station last night, we were informed that no official information had been received, although the rumour had reached the ears of the police. 'Whether it be a rumour only we are not in a position to state either one way or the other, but we shall poesibly learn &misthing more cl( Claim in a few days.— ihsto n Daily Alercury.

The scene is laid among our English Alps, in a rural spot at the foot of Helvellyn. The drama is a picture of country life in that primitive region at the beginning of last century, and th e s t ory i s on the usual theme of love, with its jealousies and crosses, in a gay and comic strain, but not without a romantic interest. The libretto is from the pen of Mr Oxenford, and the music) is remarkable for grace. It is evidently a work on which our greatest English musician has put forth all his strength, and is worthy of his name. The performance was altogether admirable. The two female characters are equal in impor tance; and they were well sustained by Madame Parepa and Madame Lernens-Sherrington. Mr Haigh was the lover, and the villain of the piece was personated by Mr Lawrence with great dramatic ability, while he showed that his baritone voice is an organ of rare power and quality. We shall give our detailed notice in a day or so. OPENING OF THE NEW POTATO MARKET AT KING . S-CROSS._The new potato market erected by the Great Northern Railway Company adjacent to the goods station, in Maiden-lane, King's-cross, was opened for busi ness yesterday, and was well att:nded by buyers and sales men. The market stands on a larger area than those at Spitalfields and Borough combined, and contains 21 ware houses, besides sheds of sufficient capacity to contain the consignments of that vegetable which arrive by the railway from the northern counties and from Scotlend. The danger to labourers of backing and carrying the sacks across the line is obviated by a siding, upon which trucks are brought close to the warehouses. GOVERNMENT EMIGRATION.—The Emigration Comruisyloners chartered yesterday the 13urlington, 778 tons, to convey emigrants to Adelaide, South Australia, at £l3 8s per statute adult. The Burlington is appointed to receive her paBrengero at Plymouth on Jun. 2 uext, Germany and Denmark, A letter from Berlin, dated the 31st ult., gives some details respecting the Treaty of Peace re• cently signed between the German Powers and Denmark. It says— I am enabled to send you some details respecting the document signed yesterday at Vienna between the Pleni potentiaries of Denmark on the one hand and those of Prus.. sia and Austria on the other. The Treaty of Peace consists of 24 articles and some annexes. The first article simply reproduces the corresponding article of the peace preliminaries. The King of Denmark cedes all his rights over Schleswig-Holstein and Lauen burg in favour of :he King of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria. As an equivalent of the Jutland territory of Mogelhon. darn, the island of Amrom, and the Jutland portions of the islands of Foehr, Sylt, and Roemse, and which Den. mark has ceded to the Duchies, a portion of Northam Schleswig has been left to Denmark. The peninsula of Stenderup, which is situate opposite Fionia, is comprised in the Danish Schleswig. In granting this compensation for the Jutland enclaves— a compensation which was eagerly desired by Denmark on account of the strategical position of the ceded territory— the German Powers have wished to prove that the separa tion of Schleswig from the Danish territory was not a first step towards the dismemberment of Denmark. On the other hand, the Treaty of Peace does not contain any stipulation of a nature to guarantee the language of the Danish popu latioa inhabiting German Schleswig. The sixth article stipulates the nomination of a mixed commission, consisting of the Prussian, Austrian, and Danish Plenipotentiaries, charged to proceed to the loca lities, so as to settlo the details of the new line of demar cation. The seventh and following articles concorn the settlement of the financial affairs. The quota of the Danish debt which falls upon the Duchies amounts to 29 millions of rix-thalers (62 millions and a half of francs). The mode of payment of this sum by the Duchies to Denmark is settled in detail in the Treaty of Peace. Denmark is obliged to give up German trading veseels and their cargoes, in so far as they have not yet been sold by Denmark. In the latter case Denmark has to compensate the owners. There is no longer a Danish question, but there remains the question of the Duchies. In our Government circles the renunciation of the rights of the King of Denmark over the Duchies, in the sense of a cession of those Duchies to the two great German Powers. is interpreted to mean that the claimants of succession to the Dnohies must bring forward their claims before Austria and Prussia. It has now to be ascertained whether the Vienna Cabinet shares the views of our Cabinet, which is in flagrant opposition upon this sulject with the secondary German States, Prince Gortechakoff has been here since Thursday. He dined yesterday at the palace. The Prince has already had several interviews with M. de Bismark, to which, doubtless, too much importance is attributed. The reconstitution of the ZAlverein will be followed by important negotiations between the Lillverein on the one hand, and Russia, Swifzerland, and Denmark on the other. M. Delbruck one of the councillors of the Board of Trade, who negotiated the Treaty of Commerce between Prussia and France, will shortly leave for Paris, so es to come to an understanding with the French Government respecting the modifications to be made in the Treaty of the 2d of August, 1862, which Prussia has promised to ask for in the new Zollvercin Treaties. Letters from Holland report the stoppage of the following houses :—Messrs J. M. Porno and Son, diamond merchants, with liabilities of about £200,000 ; Messrs Wythoff and Son, sugar refiners ; Mr J. G. Franke, merchant ; and Messrs Tholen and Co„ merchants, all of Amsterdam ; Messrs De Bruyn Bros., of Rotterdam, merchants; and ➢Messrs Van Criffalin and Co., of Rhenen, also general merchants, During the last few days there has been rather more animation in the markets for foreign and colonial produce. Sugars have been in great demand, at an advance of 6d to is per cwt. Ccffeo also has been largely dealt in at full rates, but the public sales of tea have krooeeded slowly at about previous values. The high rates demanded by holders of rice has checked business in that artiee, while fruit and spices have been in moderate request at about previous quo. tations. Tallow has been in very limited favour, and prices for both present and forward delivery have shown less firmness. THE ENGLISH BAR AND M. BERRYER.—At meeting of the benehers of the Middle Temple, held on Wednesday evening in their Parliament Chamber, it was resolved to place the magnificent hall of the society at the disposal of the committee for conducting the entertainment about to be offered to M. 13.3rryer by the bar of England, which will take place on Tuesday evening next. It is un derstood that the Attorney-General will occupy the chair on the occasion. THE AMERICAN MAILS.—SOUTIIAMPTON, Nov. 4.—The North German Lloyd steamship Hansa, Captain Van Sauton, from New York on the 22d, has arrived here. She brings 102 passengers for Bremen, 38 for Southampton and Havre, 500 dollars for Bremen, and 5,000 dollars for France. The Hansa left New York on the 22d, and on the 27th she spoke the American ship Progress, and on the 30th the English bark Walton, of Liverpool. No tidings have as yet been received of the overdue steamer Saxonia. It is supposed that she has broken down, and, coming home under canvas, has been delayed by the long-prevailing easterly winds. DEATH FROM PASSlON.—Yesterday afternoon a man named Howard, living in Cable-street, Liverpool, was discharged by his employer. Ile at once went into a furious passion and assaulted his master. In consequence of this he was given into custody, but while being taken to the police-station he fell down dead in the street. A MAORI MAIDEN AND HER ADMIRERS.—A word or two before we close about Arriana, the object of his adoration. She is a remarkably pretty half caste, the offspring of an Englishman and a Maori woman, Her mother died some years ago ; and her father, one of those restless, unsettled beings so often to he met with in the colonies, left her to the care of her Maori relations, and started for Australia : nothing has been heard of him since. When the war broke out she was living with a settler near Awamuta ; the f imily was obliged to leave, and she was car ried off by the rebels. She says that this was done against her will, and that while the fighting was going on at the pa she was tied to another woman to prevent her from attempting to escape. We suspect, however, that she was tied only by the gentle cords of love, and that a Maori warrior had some thing to do with her presence there. When the pah was evacuated she was hit by a bullet, which shattered her arm : it would have gone hard with her in the indiscriminate slaugh ter which ensued had not some brave fellow stood over her and defended her life. No less than ten men came forward to claim the honour due to his gallant deed ; but this was after the report of her beauty had spread over the camp, and such claimant doubtless imagined that ho could establish a lien over her heart. Nay, some weeks after the fight, an enthusiastic militiaman travelled all the way from Raglan a distance of thirty miles, and demanded an interview with the brigadier—he stated that he was the preserver c,f Arriana's life—he could neither eat, nor drink, nor sleep, for thinking of her—so he had made up his mind to make her his wife. He had £5O in the saving's bank, which sum he wished to devote to her education, so as to pre pare her for the duties of the married life. All that he de sired at present was an interview with the object of his affections—Arriana would at once recognise him and rush to his arms. There was only one slight difficulty— he spoke no Maori, and she knew no English—but love has a language of its own—he had no doubt that they would understand one another. The brigadier, amused at the fel low's earnestness, granted the desired interview, and allowed the interpreter to be present to assist if the silent language of love should prove insufficient. The lover entered the room with a bashful, sheepish air, and stared at Ariana, who stared at him in return; but there was no recognition on her part, no outburst of gushing gratitude, no rushing to his arms. On the contrary; she turned to the interpreter, and coolly asked what the man wanted ; on learning which she laughed heartily, and told him to go away, as she had never seen him before, and would have nothing to say to him. The :poor man begged, beseeched, implored, and looked unutterable things; Arriana only tittered and turned away her head, Ever since that time he has continued to urge his suit in letters, written by a half-caste amanuensis, but the Maori maiden is still obdurate. The poor militiaman is not the only man who has felt the power of her beauty, or claimed to be her preserver—so importunate were some of her admirers, that a guard had to be stationed at the hut for her protection. She has now almost recovered from her wound, and an asylum will be provided for her in an orphan institution. We have still some hopes of the militia man ; perseverance often leads to success in love as in everything else.—Fraser'a Magazine for November. A CHILD CARRIED OFF BY A CUTTLEFISIL—A letter from Cuba contains an account of the carrying off of a boy eight years old by a cuttlefish. Several children coming upon the fish on the beach attacked it with sticks and stones. So soon, however, as it had got to the water's edge, it threw one of its long arms upon the arm of the boy nearest to it, and to his and his playfellows' horror began to drag him into the sca. The poor child struggled to get loose and screamed agonisingly, and some of the larger boys rushed to his aid, but too late—he body .vas almost instantly dragged out of sight.

BPORTIIVG INTELLIGENCE. BROMLEY FL AT RACES AND SPEEPLE CHABES—THarnsDAY. The popularity which steeplechasing has gained with the public and metropolitan holiday seekers generally has in duced tho promoters to establish this meeting. The weather was exceedingly fine, arid Mr J. F. Verrall's name in con nexion with the management was certain to insure liberal support. The inclosure was well filled. and the stand, which has been recently remov ad from Croydon, afforded ample ac commodation to the visi. - ors. The proceedings commenced with the Volunteer Cup, which was won by the favourite,Old Surrey. The Bromley 'late brought a good field to the post, but a most tedious( delay of more than three-quarters of an hour ensued. The favourite, Land of the West, at length, when the start was eff_cted, got off with a char lead of the other thirteen, which ho maintained until coming into the straight, where he stumbled on to his he , d, but recovt r ing again, won by half a length from Starbeam. Fanny Seaton fell at the turn, at which point the course is very uneven, but Dicker, the jockey, only received a severe shaking. Tie Selling Stakes was won by Lady Warwick, against whom an oljeetion was entered on account of the second flag not being lowere2, but this was over -ruled. Ironsides, with 2 to 1 laid on him, won the Trial Steeple chase.

Excepting that Foxhunter joined Meanwood at the natural fence into the course, and that Chamade took third place, there was no variation for the first two miles. The hurdles in front of the stand were charged by Meanwood and Foxhunter together, but on alighting Meanwood resumed the lead, and after clear ing the fence which Zodiac had previously refused, he took a commanding lead, which he maintained to the end, and won by 15 lengths; Melora a bad third. Berkeley Hunt was the only other horse who passed the post. About a mile from home Foxhunter, after a natural fence in the far meadows, put his foot in a rut and came down a burster, but W.

The Strike in South Staffordshire, At a recent meeting of the council and friends of the Working Man's College at Wolverhampton, under the pre , sidency of Lord Dartmouth, The Recorder of Wolverhampton (J. J. Powell, Req., Q.C., M.P.) concluded his address to the meeting with these observations—l know that there aro even now tome persons so mistaken as to suppose that it does not conduce to the public benefit that working men should be educated, and I regret to learn from a statement of Lord Lyttelton that many great employers of labour in this and a neigh bouring ceu - ity have withdrawn their subscriptions from some educational institutions upon the ground that it makes the working men discontented with their lot in We end more exacting in their demands for the wages of labour. I entirely concur in the admirable remarks of Mr Lloyd in reference to the ignorance of the working classes, and, ir.- deed, I am afraid we may say the ignorance of the public generally, as to the plain and simple elements of political economy. It would well become anybody, especially work ing men, to study that subject, and I would most emphati cally recommend those who withdrew their subscriptions from educational institutions from the fear that education makes working men discontented—l say I would emphati cally recommend those gentlemen to turn their attention to the study of political economy. If only masters and work ing men were properly educated these disturbance 2 of the labour market as those this district end other districts are at present suffering from would never occur again. (Cheers.) Without in the slightest degree entering into the merits of the question between the workmen and their em ployers in the neighbourhood —a question, indeed, which I do not understand, and on which I am not competent to express an opinion—l will say that the barbarous custom of resorting to what are called strikes to settle disputes be tween masters and men as to the rate at which the ono shall buy and the other shall sell labour is a disgrace to the civilisation of the age. (Applause.) There never was a strike and there never will be a strike that was not or will not be disastrous both to masters and to men—and the me lancholy feature of the matter is this—that there is not the least necessity for the great evils which arise from these strikes—evils which extend far beyond the parties imme• diately concerned, evils injuriously affecting the workmen's innocent wives and families, and indeed all the members of the community. (Applause.) I will show why there is no necessity for such evils, In this country we are not much accustomed to think the French superior to our selves; we are very loth to admit that such is the case, But there is no question that in this particular matter the French are far in advance of us. Strange to say, from the earliest ages—it is not the result of modern political eco nomy, but from the earliest ages in France there have existed institutions celled " Conseuls des Prud'hommes” —the duties of which councils are to inquire into and adjudicate on disputes between masters and workmen on the subject of wages, and the plan pursued is as simple as possible. In every district, and with refer ence to every class of trade and manufacture in that district, a council is ap pointed, the masters electing three members and the men three. A president is chosen to preside over their discus sions. If the decision of the council be not acquiesced in, an appeal lies to the Chamber of Commerce; but, as I as certained, when in Paris a few weeks ago, although on an average 4,000 or 5,000 cases are annually brought before the council in that city alone, appeals are almost if not quite unknown. Thus that large number of cases is settled be tween the masters and men without any disturbance or dif ficulty whatever—(applause)•—and what is stranger still is that although those councils have power to adjudicate, and although by law the adjudication may be made as binding upon the parties as would be the judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction between litigant parties iu this country, yet so admirably is the system managed that out of these 4,000 or 5000 eases, of which three-fourths relate to wages alone, the great msjority are not adjudicated upon at all, but settled by the conciliatory manner of the council. I trust some of the working men will hear what I say, not because I say it, but because I think they must see at once that the way I have described is a much more rational way of settling their disputes with their masters than by resort • ing to the barbarous and expensive practice of a strike. I presume the workman wants onlywhat is fairond I presume the master only wants what is fair; end if so, why not re sort to some such system as exists in Franco to settle the'r differences, instead of going on in the absurd way in whieh they have been going on lately to their lean det►iment and the injury of everybody else. (Applause) Do not suppose that what I have said is foreign to the subject before the meeting, or of the resolution I have to propose, because it strikes me they are intimately connected. I believe it is by the agency of such institutions as this college that we can clone look for the enlightenment that will adopt such a course as I have suggested—and as it would be equally fur the benefit of masters and men, all ought to combine to maintain this and similar colleges. I trust that they will do so, and that in the result you may feel and enjoy with the rest of the people of this country— " T o softening arts of peace, Whate'er the humanising maces teach; The godlike wisdom of the temper'd breast ; Progressive trutb, the patient wreo of thought; Investigation calm, whose silent powers Command the world; the light that leads to Heaven; Kind equal rule, the government of laws Aud all-protecting freedom, which alone Sustains the name and dignity of man." (Applause.) I have great pleasure in proposing " That this meeting warmly recognises the benefits arising from sound education among all classes of the community as one of the best means of pi emoting order, good - fellowship, and progress."

NOT. 3, MIL • ANCIENT LONDON.--The marvellous transforms, tions that have been effected by railways in Lon don during the past few years, render it no small import ance to gather up every scrap of topographical lore while a few sites remain that are dearer to history and the Muses. It is but the other day that we heard of the destruction of Milton's residence in Barbiern. Now wo heap that Gold smith's residencr in Green Arbour-court must share the same fate. With such ci ages going on around us, it is gratify:ng to Loma that Aleph, the gifted author of '• Lon don Sciences and London Peoples," has a companion volume in the press, the title of which is "The Old City, and its highways and Byways." We hear that the forth coming work will be rich in personal reminiscences of his. torieal sites and sketches of remarkable places and person ages, which more or less rf ilict upon us the light of °titer days from the great ald City.
